Ella's Ballet Recital

Ella did a wonderful job at her ballet recital. She did two separate dances, one was ballet and the other was tap. Alot of girls from her preschool class are in dance with her. Their preschool teachers came to watch the recital and brought each of them a rose....they're so sweet!! Stevie, one of the boys from her class, whose dad is also in the band, brought Ella 6 roses and Tim and I gave her mini roses. Needless to say she had ALOT of flowers to bring home:-) All of the dancers received a certificate at the end of the performance. They all did a great job!!

The Army Field Band

On April 2nd Tim had the honor of being a guest conductor for the United States Army Field Band. They are based out of the Washington DC area, but were on tour in our area. I managed to get a nice picture of Tim in his dress blues with Connor and Ella. Laney isn't in the picture because she just finished having dinner....can you imagine him conducting in that nice uniform with spit up down the front:-)

As quoted from their website, The United States Army Field Band is considered by music critics to be one of the most versatile and inspiring musical organizations in the world. Its members, selected by highly-competitive audition, represents some of the finest musical talent in America. More than six decades as the military's most traveled musicians have earned them the title, "The Musical Ambassadors of the Army".
